Whale problem

Dear CG - can you maybe build some larger comprehensive packs for whales?  I want to buy toons to 125 but I keep triggering fraud alerts with my bank since buying 15x $5 packs appear to be micro purchases on a stolen card. I guess I'm done buying for the day until the bank figures it out.

I get it, you probably sell more packs individually because the math to figure out all the materials needed for 7 toons in the era plus how the packs sold in say 900's when 2400 are needed for one toon, make the math maddening. Not to mention the late changes of rewards in individual marquees so the player base cannot plan efficiently throughout the era.

  • The actual numbers for me 110 to 125 would be:

    Aurek Calender - 46 Euro 

    3 x “Master” Pack - 42 Euro

    8 x “Aurek” Pack - 64 Euro

    3 x “Legendary” Pack - 54 Euro

    7 x “Senth” Pack - 42 Euro 

    Et voila…there are the costs of bringing 6 characters up to 125. Isn’t that an offer you can’t refuse?

     

  • As already posted above, CG probably doesn’t want to communicate openly that in addition to the character unlock and upgrade (7 star) costs you will have to pay approximately 250 Euro to bring up 6 characters from era level 110 to 125 in order to go for a 7 star Rotta.

    This is indeed ridiculous, repeated small purchases does not look good at all and can trigger account blockage until you call the bank to explain. Some banks have a limit of 10 purchases per hour, if you buy all these 12 packs of senth ability can get your acc suspended.

    I don't understand why you can't just choose how many of something you want to buy, so it comes out as one purchase, or even just a shopping cart like every other online store has.

  • Their concern for whales is lower than their concern for PVP.  New money is their priority and new players bringing it.  Which is why they're nickel n' diming us on these packs, because new players are more likely to buy those.

    It would be nice, but I don't think they will because then we'll comprehend the full-price for ONE character getting to 125 being over $100 bucks just on era levels and if we can see that, it'll demotivate players to want to spend that much on their stupid new era materials that we don't even get to keep for the next era.  (More renting garbage....as Mobile Gamer would say:  SCAM!)

    I'm not sure you can even get everyone to level 135 even if you buy everything. The MK VIII 7th ability Module that you can purchase 700 per 4.99 pack up to 12 times total before it disappears. I've taken every character 7* day one of this era, bought calendars and what not and I've got 1 to 133, 1 to 130, everyone else 129 with 5 days left of stormtroopers dailies I can get those mats. But yes I totally agree with this making a bunch of small purchases to upgrade characters then my bank thinks it's fraud. Gets annoying 

  • I agree this needs to be addressed, I'm pretty sure you need to buy over 50 packs to get to level 135...... who wants to do that!? Not to mention the transaction fees have to kill the profits.... please offer some bigger packs already! The prices are sickening but even for people willing to accept them it makes it idiotic
